DOG!!!!
Diverticulitis says nuts, beans, seeds, and hulls are a No-no.
I would kill for a pistachio or caramel corn right now.

$:-\$

Killed a mess of squirrels.

I approve of this post.

I might have convinced a customer of mine to explore airguns in greater details. So of course I described my PP700 in detail

I shot 100 pellets in my 10y attic range testing 4 different pellets. I would post pics but I can't just yet.

Disassembled my AA S400. Rebuilt the huma regulator, installed new pressure gauge, changed out several O-rings because I had a rebuild kit laying around, put it all back together to find my regulator was different than it was so disassemble it again, adjust reg. All good now and shooting nicely. Ready to knock down some silhouettes.

Oh yeah, changed scopes on it too

Built a workbench which isn't specifically airgun related but will definitely get used.

Well I got up and got ready to go to my oncologist and drove the 25 miles to get there to only find out it was not til this coming Monday but swore they said the 17th...geez. Came back and this afternoon when the sun decided to peek out I decided to hop on the quad and go to the back of my property and get my last deer cam I had left watching the feed area. I figured by now the batteries were run down. Got back in and checked and was surprised to find out they weren't and had 1202 pics on the card since mid Nov. Then decided to hang a 8" gong plate up out behind the patio. Put it up between two trees about 120 yards or so, then spray painted it white. Here are a few pics that were on the camera. Number 472 is the baby that came around a lot and number 231 is from Oct, and don't know where those boys got off to. I just love having an area like this. Oh, and there were squirrels, coon and possums there also. I think they are the ones that mainly wiped out my jar of pb out put on the post for the deer.
And number 306 getting a lick is a spike. And the gong I hung is for the air rifle shooting...lol

I've finally purchased an air rifle, a Beeman springer. My first since the 80's. More detail when it arrives.

Exciting! Do post pics when it arrives and happy shooting!

I've been shooting targets with my latest Crosman 150

I "Dodged the Bullet" so to speak.
Ya see last night, I went to my stash of Hard cases under the bed in the Man-cave spare room.
Dug out the HW98, Ar2078-B, FWB300S , the Blue Streak and the Model F Dan. Brought them down to the family room for some indoor shooting.
Put them all back in their cases and went to bed. This Morning Hoosier Momma came into the Family room and saw 5 hard cases setting next to the Gunsafe.
"You got MORE?"
Not being one to lie to her I said "NO Dear, these are my nice ones I don't want to get bumped / dinged up in the safe" and showed them to her. She saw with her own eyes how nice they are and was back to her routine satisfied.
I MAY have left out minor details like...
1.) The safe is so full no more will fit.
2.) There is 7 more cases upstairs under the bed.

Whew... that was close!

WOW !!! The temps dropped like a rock. I wanted to work in the shop so I went and got a propane tank for the heater. Turned out the one that Betty Lou said was empty was more than half full. So I cranked that one up while I went and exchanged an empty one. Now I got plenty of heat.
So, after cleaning off the bench a bit, I tore the FD-PCP down for some trigger work. The ink pen spring that was in it was too lite for my liking. After what seemed to be an hour I found one about one half times stiffer. I also shortened the travel and adjusted the stop. Somehow my foster fitting had migrated off to an angle so I degassed and aligned that as well.
Betty Lou called for lunch so I brought the gun up to the house with me. After a bite to eat I gassed it up to 1800 real slow with the SCUBA tank and checked for leaks and bump checked the trigger adjustment.
All seems to be well. Next I'll scrounge around for a loaner scope and see what we got.

You keep that up and you will be in your own gun case.

I already got it picked out Kris... a High-school buddy is one of the local morticians.
It is so warm and purdy... walnut and brass. Looks real comfy for the dirt nap.

Stop already! I can't take it when every time I check a different thread I see one of your 150s staring at me like it needs me to buy its brother/sister/cousin.

I moved my gun cabinet, pellets, tools, and handpumps to inside the closet in the dog's room. We're doing some cleaning and made some extra space, so now the airguns are even less likely to attract attention.

Peter when the weather starts warming up you probably won't see as many posts from me, I'll be out in the woods most of my free daytime then

Forget about after dark though I will still be going hog wild with stuff like this

I'M NOT LISTENING!

Actually, I ordered one last week while in FL and eBay cancelled my order- as it was "against the law to ship to VA". Needless to say, I called eBay directly and got into a lively conversation, citing several air pistols I've bought in the past on eBay, as well as citing the laws the guy pointed out went away several (meaning a couple decades) years ago. By the time I was done with the back-and-forth, that 150 was already sold. Listed for $79

c'est la vie

Heat is on warming up the shop. Got the store run out of the way. Munched on some crab salad and tortilla chips. Headed down to the shop where a Crosman Magnum 2200 is on the bench waiting for a freshen up job. Gonna see if my brand new shoulder is up to pumping.

Sounds like a fine day! Happy shooting!

I'm going to try to throw a few rounds downrange today on my lunch break. Maybe more practice with the 1377.

I have nearly as many projects started or in line to be started as I have pellets around here. Time to get back to them.
Besides.... last time I looked, the fridge in the shop is fully stocked...

Can't think of a better way to spend a paid holiday.
